Galactica

in the early afternoon on Monday, the 15th of December 2003 by Chad

Just read Aaron Mannes on National Review Online talk about the new Battlestar Galactica on the SciFi channel. Nice, but I thought of one main point when I watched it.
The school teacher who became president’s first words when she found out about the bombings of her home planet was to ask if the colonies had surrendered yet. Her very first reaction reminded me of most of the crop of current Democratic candidates for POTUS.
Then of course once made president she tried to order the last battleship to become a floating hospital liner. I can see it now, “chuck those weapons overboard! We can fit a few more burn victims in that launch tube!”
At least the director of the show made her look like the proper idiot she is.
